i know expectations were low since you can't exactly show anakin's face with DV around but man they really hyped up hayden's return when he's had like 5 minutes of screentime.

the shit with reva was predictable and badly written and plotted. she just came off deranged, her past actions didn't align with the reveal, nor did darth knowing or her attacking him from the back while screaming. i mean she's met him right? and why keep her alive? idk the whole thing is dumb.

tala's death...who even was she? they missed an opportunity to make her death impactful by hardly making her a person! what a waste.

they need to decide of leia is 8 or 18. this is no hate toward the child actress (of course it's not, i'm not insane) but her characterization is all over the place.

Those few minutes were worth it! I was all over my couch it was truly an event in my livingroom lol

[colossusx]

i have no fondness for the prequels so that explains my reaction BUT i'm happy for you!

[t_snake]

The prequels have their faults but I love them

Tbf, Anakin was fixing electrical stuff when he was 10 too. Shit, he’d built C-3PO at that point lol

[colossusx]

it's not her ability, it's her dialogue

[insecuredesign]

Ahh gotcha. I’ve just come to expect adults writing kids to speak like adults lol

[funhouse]

anakin was a slave raised in a junkyard, leia was raised a princess... i guess she can still hvae interests but surely there'd be someone more qualified for the job on the base

[moirasrose]

But the problem wasn’t qualification, it was size. Ice Cube’s son couldn’t fit in the vent and Leia could. I don’t think it’s that different from Mando sending Grogu to fix the wiring.

[funhouse]

not a single competent maintenance droid on that base that would fit? there's only so much suspension of reality i can handle

[momsapplelie]

I'm not insane.

🤔

Honestly, I don't think Reva's anger and such is any different than say, Anakin or Kylo Ren's. All three come off deranged. She also wasn't screaming when she came up from behind him at first, lol

[colossusx]

She absolutely yelled when she raised her light saber to attack him

Out of the three only Reva’s anger is justified tbh

[laurondo]

She did once he stopped her lightsaber and he turned around.

[colossusx]

As she lights her light saber she yells.

[laurondo]

You know what, lol, I went back to check and you're right. My bad.
